"The Taylors Falls Journal of 2-Apr-1880 reports that A. D. and J. D. Sayers bought in 1870, 560 acres of land near Harris Station, for which they paid $2,000 in cash. Three hundred acres were in meadow. They had 8 horses and 40 head of cattle and a house 40 x 60 feet. The value of their farm was no less than $10,000.
Daughter Alura (Lou) talked fondly of the big house with 14 rooms and 12 foot ceilings. For Lou, life was busy and frivolous in the late 1880's. She said that Pine City was the center of social activity for the young. 'We went there a lot to go to the dances. We even went to a dance there on a freight train once, or we would take a slower trip in a hay wagon. We used to dance until 3 a.m. and sometimes take the 5 a.m. train home from Pine City.'
Lou resided at Green Acres Care Center during the last 15 years of her life and remained sharp and cynical until her passing in 1979, which was three months before her 100th birthday."
